Cindy Kazlauskas of Sequim Health & Rehab, right, delivers a bag of cards, homemade masks, and goodies to Bryanne at Highland Court Memory Care. Special thanks to Brenda of Loop N Stitch for sewing the masks. Just a reminder that we are all in this together!
It’s very strange trying to plan for the unknown! We all are doing it every day.
I was very excited to see the interest in the trip to Snoqualmie Falls! Here are a few of the trips I would like to plan when we are again able to venture out in our bus:
May 18: Clearwater Casino if open!
Hobby Lobby
Salt Creek Campground for picnic
Wolf Haven
Sol Duc (for Hot Springs and/or hike)
Snoqualmie Falls and Treehouse Tour
Tacoma shopping
Emerald Downs
For those of you signed up for the following Regional trips, I have not yet canceled these... yet. If we need to cancel them, you will be refunded, or you can roll the funds over to another trip.
May 19-21: Cranberry Coast
June 9-11: Chemainus
Please call me if you would like information on the Collette Trips for 2021: Shades of Ireland (April 2021) and domestic trip Southern Charm, (March 2021) featuring South Carolina, Savannah Jekyll Island and more! Both presentations planned for June 16.
We will not take any chances when we take our Shipley bus out, but I do need to keep plans in the works! If necessary, we will cancel any trip immediately. At this time, payments will not be needed until the week before any trip.
I was so excited to see the tulips blooming in my garden this spring! Next year, however, I plan on visiting the gorgeous fields of tulips in Mt Vernon during the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival! It is a bit difficult to plan any trips at this time, but our Regional Cranberry Coast adventure has not yet been canceled. I will be waiting until May 5th to make that decision. We also have a trip planned for Chemainus in June. As I am writing this article, Butchart Gardens is closed, as well as Chemainus Dinner Theatre. June sailings on the Coho are pending until they find out when the Canadian border will reopen. As soon as I receive more information, I will contact those of you who are planning on this trip My own excursions have been few and far between lately, and I’m sure you are experiencing a similar scenario: an occasional walk around the block or down the street, a trip to the grocery store now and then, watering the plants around the house. It’s been great to have the sunny weather! As I mentioned last month, when we resume travel on the Shipley bus, you will be asked several questions about your respiratory health before you board. There is also the possibility we will request you wear a mask on our bus. However, we will wait until the time approaches before we make any set rules. As said before, we want everyone to be healthy, and to stay healthy. We can’t compromise anyone’s well-being.
Oh, the places we’ll go!

ADVANCE CARE PLANNING MEETING CANCELLED
Olympic Medical Center’s Advance Care Planning staff will be cancelling our May 5 session at Shipley Center and hopefully resuming with our June 2nd session. We would like to remind you how important it is to talk with your loved ones about your healthcare goals and wishes not only at end-of-life but throughout your lifetime. Times such as these remind us that those who care about us need to know what our wishes are. Advance Care Planning helps you document the types of healthcare you do and do not want. You may not be able to predict every choice, but you can give those you love the guidance to confidently make decisions for you when you’re unable to decide for yourself. If you have questions or would like to have a conversation prior to June, please reach out to Sandy at [email protected] or 360-565-9293.
Lost Words from Our Childhood Murgatroyd! Do you remember that word and phrase? Heavens to Murgatroyd! The other day, a not-so-elderly (I’d say 75 year old) lady said something to her son about driving a jalopy; and he looked at her quizzically and asked, "What the heck is a jalopy?" He had never heard of the word jalopy! She knew she was old . . . but not that old! Well, I hope you are hunky-dory after you read this . . . and chuckle. About a month ago, I illuminated some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases included: Don't touch that dial! Carbon copy, You sound like a broken record, and Hung out to dry. Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We'd put on our best bib and tucker to straighten up and fly right. Heavens to Betsy! Gee Willikers! Jumping Jehoshaphat! Holy moley! Holy Toledo! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley; and even a regular guy couldn't accuse us of being a knucklehead, or a nincompoop . . . not for all the tea in China! Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when's the last time anything was swell? Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A., of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and pedal pushers. Oh, my aching back! Kilroy was here . . . but he isn't anymore. We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" or "This is a fine kettle of fish!" we discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards. Poof! go the words of our youth, the words we've left behind. We blink, and they're gone. Where have all those great phrases gone? Pshaw! The milkman did it. Hey! It's your nickel. Don't forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Well, Fiddlesticks! Going like sixty. I'll see you in the funny papers. Don't take any wooden nickels. Wake up and smell the roses. It turns out there are more of these lost words and expressions than Carter has liver pills. This can be disturbing stuff! (Carter's Little Liver Pills are gone too!) We of a certain age have been blessed to live in changeable times. For a child, each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age. We, at the other end of the chronological arc, have the advantage of remembering there are words that once did not exist; and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective memories. It's one of the advantages of aging! Leaves us to wonder where Superman will find a phone booth. . . . You'll notice they left out monkey business!!! See ya later, alligator! After a while, crocodile! Okey-dokey
I want take this opportunity to thank all of our staff and board members, sixteen in all, who are making the effort to call all 1700 current Shipley Center members! (See Spotlight, p. 10) It has been a great experience, calling our members to say “hi” and to see if they needed any information about resources during this pandemic.
If you have not received a call, we may not have a working phone number for you. Please make sure all your contact info is correct! If you have changed numbers, dropped your land line, etc., or if you have an email address you’d like to share so you can get the latest updates, you can call our office at 360-683-6806.
Preparations We have been making preparations to be
ready and set for YOU to be able to return to your senior center when it is safe to do so . . . and the Governor says, “Go!”
The photos on this page show what we had been up to before the closure, and the few safety items that have been taken care of during the closure. The roof has been fixed and longer screws installed to hold our metal sheeting tight. Our new HVAC system is ready to warm or cool you; whatever you need in the way of comfort!
Duane has poured new concrete pads outside all our rear exit doors. Our main electrical panel has been replaced. Hand sanitizer dispensers have been installed at all entrances. And finally, snazzy new “sneeze guards” of shiny Plexiglas have been installed at our front desk and in the Trips and Tours department. They will provide protection for our members, volunteers and staff for as long as they are needed.
I know many of you are experiencing “cabin fever” and are anxious to come back to Shipley Center. We all miss each other and the friendships and activities we have here. We all hope to be able to enjoy these things once again in the near future. We appreciate your loyal support in renewing your membership, making donations, and thinking of your
staff and board working behind the scenes to make Shipley Center better prepared for “Ready, Set, Go!” when the health crisis improves. Take care and be safe,
Michael

VOLUNTEER HOSPICE CONTINUES MISSION OF SERVICE Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County (VHOCC) remains committed to its mission of providing hospice services to the community even with travel and physical distancing directives in place. VHOCC continually monitors and follows COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC and Clallam County Department of Health and Human Services to protect patients, staff and volunteers. The organization has adapted as necessary and prudent to minimize the risk of virus transmission, but wants to assure the public that it is still operating, within the following parameters: Office. Although not physically accessible by the public, the VHOCC office is operating as normal and can be reached Monday-Friday 9-4 pm by calling 360.452.1511 or emailing [email protected]. Hospice Services. Hospice services are being provided as usual for both current and new patients. Nurses continue to make clinical visits to patient homes while taking precautionary measures to prevent COVID transmission per the latest local public health and CDC guidelines. Services have been expanded to include medication pickup and other support such as delivering groceries for our most vulnerable patients. VHOCC is accepting new patients. Grief Support. VHOCC is committed to continue to serve the bereaved, especially at this time when family and loved ones cannot physically be present. The sorrow of losing a loved one can be accentuated by the isolation felt due to the travel directives and physical distancing in place. In order to respect the guidelines and minimize virus transmission risks, the Port Angeles and the Sequim grief support groups have been combined in an online grief support group, pending enough people registered by 4/14. This online group is scheduled to start on Tuesday April 28 and run weekly from 2 pm to 3:30 pm until Tuesday June 9. Call 360-406-4439 for more information on this online group. Individual support continues to be available by phone only to any member of the public. Spiritual Care. Given changes in funeral home policies and limitations on holding memorial and funeral services, volunteer spiritual care providers have been mobilized to support patients and their families at end of life. Spiritual care can be offered via phone to families near or at the time of death of a hospice patient. Lending Closet. VHOCC has temporarily suspended lending equipment to the public in order to reduce the potential of virus transmission. However, medical equipment continues to be delivered to its hospice patients by dedicated volunteers. VHOCC will also assess on a case by case basis the feasibility of delivering essential medical equipment to members of the public. Borrowed equipment should be held onto until the Port Angeles office reopens to the public. Volunteers—More Needed. Many long-serving, dedicated volunteers who are at high-risk for COVID-19 have been asked to stay home. VHOCC is recruiting new volunteers to help with essential services, especially in the area of deliveries and grief support by phone. Those who wish to volunteer while staying at home are urged to undertake the sewing of masks and gowns. Any extra elastic one may have tucked away in their sewing bin could be put to good use by VHOCC. Please call the Volunteer Services Manager at 360.452.1511 or email [email protected] if you can help in any way. As we all adjust to the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, VHOCC hopes your family and all your loved ones are safe and staying home. Individuals and families who are already in the midst of an end-of-life journey and now facing greater uncertainty in these unprecedented times, are encouraged to reach out to VHOCC. The organization remains committed to providing compassionate care on all levels and in all ways possible. Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County is grateful for your ongoing support during this critical time. Together, we will get through this, while standing with and caring for our community. To learn more about VHOCC visit VHOCC.org, VHOCC on Facebook, or call 360.452.1511.
Together, our Members Giving Monthly donors provide over $1000. a month, or over $12,000
per year, in much needed General Fund support!!!
These donations go towards our operating costs, which helps us keep dues and activity fees low. Some donors are doing a dollar a day, which is
$30 per month. Some are doing $50 or even $100 per month. You can become a $100 MGM
donor at our new lower minimum of just $8.34 per month! For more information about MGM please
call Michael Smith at 360-683-6806.
Birthday Cards Needed!

the Front Desk.
Thank you! Your generosity is
appreciated.
Find the Hidden Object
Somewhere in this month’s issue is a Goldfinch. It could be anywhere.
Once you spot the object, email your name, phone number and the location (page number) to [email protected]. Or you can come into the Office and fill out a form and turn it in by the 15th of each month. A winner will be drawn from all correct answers. You can win $4 off at The Café or $4 in Activity Bucks.
Each month, we will be hiding a different object or animal. Good Luck!
LEGACY GIVING
It’s more than an act of generosity It is an important investment in the future
of our Center. To be part of this fine tradition, ask your attorney to add this, or other suitable language, to your will:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to Sequim
Senior Services, Tax ID number 91-1355592, 921 E Hammond St, Sequim, WA 98382,
(insert: dollar amount, percentage of estate, description of real estate or other property, nature of gift, or remainder of my estate).”
Contact: Executive Director, Michael Smith, to discuss legacy giving, and how you can
use beneficiary designations on various types of accounts to help
without changing your will.
SHOPPING ETIQUETTE
Following are some shopping etiquette guidelines from the Sequim Emergency Coordination Center (ECC): • Do not shop in large groups. Many stores recommend no more than one to two customers per cart. • Limit your trips to the store by buying a week’s worth of perishable items at a time instead of shopping daily. • Maintain social distancing while shopping by keeping a six-foot distance between
other customers. • Wash your hands before and after visiting the store. • Sanitize the handhold of the shopping cart before use. • Try not to touch too much in the store. • Many customers are wearing a cloth mask when shopping to protect other customers. This is a voluntary decision and is not required. Remember that wearing a cloth mask does not replace the necessity for social distancing and proper hygiene. • Don’t go into any public place if you have symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, cold/flu like symptoms or a low-grade fever.

Spotlight on...Connecting
By Margaret Cox
During Shipley Center’s shut-down due to our
current health crisis, staff and board members have
been making personal phone calls to our 1700+
members! Besides reaching out to our members, a
side benefit is that the Center’s contact data-base was
being updated with corrected phone numbers and add-
ed email addresses.
Callers have enjoyed the task, talking to members,
and leaving phone messages if no one is in. (Perhaps
they are out working in their gardens, the weather
having been so nice lately!)
Here are some reactions and comments of callers and members:
I have had nothing but positive responses to our
calls. Everyone thinks it is wonderful that we are doing
it.
Some were very chatty, and some just a quick “thank
you”, but all very pleasant.
Many were inquiring about trips they had signed up for
in June and beyond. I told them it is just a “wait and
see” and that they would be contacted as soon as Beth
knows of cancellations.
The best thing about making the calls is that I have the
opportunity to talk to members I probably never would
have even met, since we don't participate in the same
activities.
Some who live alone seemed happy to be able to talk to
someone new.
People are considerate and pleased that Shipley Center
cares about the well-being of its members.
Trips are the most missed.
“Grateful to still be able to see Rhonda for foot care.”
Several of the people commented on how their neighbors have been checking up
on them. As bad as this situation is, it's nice to find out that the people in this
community watch out for each other.
Board member, Cindy Crossman calls Shipley Center members.

SHIPLEY CENTER NEWSLETTER PAGE 11 May 2020
“We are well. Thanks for calling. Is there anything we can do for you?”
“What a wonderful surprise; thank you!”
A resident at The 5th Avenue praised the staff, that “they were doing an excellent
job!”
Many expressed the thought that they “Can’t wait to get back to activities at the
Center.”
Two members I called were having their anniversary dinner right at that moment
in their car overlooking John Wayne Marina!
Any ideas for a quick dinner?
“We are very happy to be checked on.
Because of a call, I was able to participate in singing
“Happy Birthday” for a surprise 90th birthday celebration . . .
from the front-lawn and driveway, suitably
socially-distanced!
The consensus of the team confirmed something we
always knew: that we have a very diverse and interesting
membership!!
We at Shipley Center want to be in contact with our
members. Do call 360-683-6806 between 10-2, if you
have any questions or comments, or would like someone to contact you.
Know that we are here for you!
Encouragement
“Outside my window a new day I see,
and only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay, or boring and cold, unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key, for I am the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful, trying to help, or selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it fun,
or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand,
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself and believe what I say,
and fully intend to make the best of each day."
